1/ An immediate 'energy ceasefire' is reported to have been agreed between Russia and Ukraine in talks in Abu Dhabi, supposedly ending Russian strikes on Ukrainian power and heating infrastructure. Russian warbloggers are angry about the move. ⬇️

The Economic Survey 2025-26 was tabled in the Parliament today, giving an economic overview of the past year and ideas for the road ahead. In a world defined by geopolitical fragmentation and economic turbulence, India stands as a global bright spot - resilient, stable, and surging forward.
• The Survey mentions that amidst global uncertainties, the Indian economy has maintained robust momentum, with the First Advance Estimates placing real GDP growth at 7.4% for FY 2025-26. This performance reaffirms India's status as the fastest-growing major economy for the fourth consecutive year.
• Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi, our macroeconomic fundamentals are stronger than ever. We have successfully navigated global headwinds to place India on a high-growth trajectory, improving our potential GDP growth to 7%.

The Survey rightfully notes that the government’scalibrated fiscal strategy, anchored in credible deficit reduction, resilient revenue mobilisation, and a decisive reorientation of spending toward capitalformation, has strengthened macroeconomic stability and supported growth in the post-pandemic period. Importantly, this fiscal resilience reflects prudentfiscal policy choices and careful fiscal management.
• The govt. remains committed to fiscal consolidation without compromising on growth. The fiscal deficit target of 4.4% for the current FY 2026 is well on track, a feat recognised by 3 sovereign rating upgrades this financial year.
• Our capital expenditure has risen by nearly 89% since FY22, reaching a budgeted ₹11.21 lakh crore in FY26. The effective capex has risen from 2.7% (pre-pandemic average) to 3.9% of the GDP (post-pandemic). We are building assets that serve as the economic arteries of an aspiring economy.
• The national highway network has expanded by nearly 60%, rising from 91,287 km in FY14 to 1.46 lakh km by FY26, while operational high-speed corridors have grown almost tenfold to 5,364 km, sharply reducing freight bottlenecks.
• Rail capacity creation has accelerated, with annual commissioning more than doubling over the last decade. Port infrastructure has expanded in tandem, with cargo handling increasing from 1,052 MMT to 1,602 MMT and total capacity reaching 2,771 MMT, alongside a reduction in average container vessel turnaround time from 43.44 hours to 30.88 hours.
• The strongest transformation is visible in Inland Water Transport, where cargo movement has surged from 18 MMT in 2013–14 to 146 MMT in 2024–25, signalling a structural shift toward cheaper, greener, and more efficient freight logistics.
• The Survey has also highlighted that cities succeed not only through infrastructure but through trust, predictability, and civic cooperation. When rules are clear, services reliable, and public spaces respected, growth becomes easier to live with—and easier to sustain. We are committed to building the cities that bring ‘ease of living’ for our citizens.

• The Survey reflects the healthy banking fundamentals, achieved due to the various Banking reforms undertaken by the Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi’s government in the last decade.
• The Gross Non-Performing Asset (GNPA) ratio of Scheduled Commercial Banks has fallen to a multi-decadal low of 2.2% as of Sept. 2025, marking a clear break from earlier stress cycles. Recovery efficiency has strengthened, with NPA recovery rates nearly doubling from 13.2% in FY18 to 26.2% in FY25.
• Profitability has accelerated, with profit after tax rising 16.9% in FY25 and Return on Assets stabilising at healthy levels. Regional Rural Banks have also strengthened through consolidation and technology integration, achieving a record consolidated net profit of ₹7,600 crore in FY24,while their GNPA ratio dropped to a 13-year low of 5.4% in FY25.

Ukraine destroys about three Russian battalions every day. And that’s not enough. — Madyar, commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces.
We must destroy much more.
We have to rely on long-range strikes in order to compensate for the lack of recovery.

Madyar: There are no illusions about a mobilization miracle in 2026.
Those who wanted to fight are already fighting or are dead.
Those who stayed out for four years won’t suddenly volunteer. We’ll keep working on recruitment — but I have no false hopes.

@TifoG96561 @leonardaisfunE @CommieGibberish I don't want to hear "anyone who likes asian woman is a pedophile" for years after seeing millions of RWers cum in their pants over this thing. I don't think asian women are better looking on average than white women either btw.
@TifoG96561 @leonardaisfunE @CommieGibberish "Only a latent child rapist would find this attractive. Real men love blonde OFwhores with spray-tans and botoxed lips and that bleached sheboon with FAS and the stupid alliterative name."
@TifoG96561 @leonardaisfunE @CommieGibberish lol didn't look at your avatar until now. I guess you'd be inclined to call people pedophiles if you have a fetish for manjaws (extremely common among white men post-WW2)

This is the couple savagely killed by Russia in a recent video, one that unfortunately didn’t go viral the way Russian bullshit does.
The Klochkov couple tried to escape from the occupied village of Hrabovske in the Sumy region. Valerii was pulling his wife Valentyna on a sled. They covered 7 kilometers like that.

Later, a Russian soldier dropped an explosive from a drone onto the sled and killed Valentyna. Valerii sat in the snow, crying over his wife’s body.
After some time, another explosive was dropped from a drone on him.

Current laws are often quoted to demonstrate how Muslim women have choice in, for example, Saudi Arabia.
"Saudi Arabia: Not legally compulsory for hijab (since reforms; modest dress/abaya encouraged, but no strict age enforcement for headscarf)."

Holy shit… Stanford just showed why LLMs sound smart but still fail the moment reality pushes back.
This paper tackles a brutal failure mode everyone building agents has seen: give a model an under-specified task and it happily hallucinates the missing pieces, producing a plan that looks fluent and collapses on execution.
The core insight is simple but devastating for prompt-only approaches: reasoning breaks when preconditions are unknown. And most real-world tasks are full of unknowns.
Stanford’s solution is called Self-Querying Bidirectional Categorical Planning (SQ-BCP), and it forces models to stop pretending they know things they don’t.
Instead of assuming missing facts, every action explicitly tracks its preconditions as:
• Satisfied
• Violated
• Unknown
Unknown is the key. When the model hits an unknown, it’s not allowed to proceed.
It must either:
1. Ask a targeted question to resolve the missing fact
or
2. Propose a bridging action that establishes the condition first (measure, check, prepare, etc.)
Only after all preconditions are resolved can the plan continue.
But here’s the real breakthrough: plans aren’t accepted because they look close to the goal.
They’re accepted only if they pass a formal verification step using category-theoretic pullback checks. Similarity scores are used only for ranking, never for correctness.
Translation: pretty plans don’t count. Executable plans do.
The results are wild.
On WikiHow and RecipeNLG tasks with hidden constraints:
• Resource violations dropped from 26% → 14.9%
• And 15.7% → 5.8%
while keeping competitive quality scores.
More search didn’t help.
Longer chain-of-thought didn’t help.
Even Self-Ask alone still missed constraints.
What actually worked was treating uncertainty as a first-class object and refusing to move forward until it’s resolved.
This paper quietly draws a line in the sand:
Agent failures aren’t about model size.
They’re about pretending incomplete information is complete.
If you want agents that act, not just narrate, this is the direction forward.

SQ-BCP doesn’t just ask questions when information is missing.
It forces a decision between two paths:
• ask the user (oracle)
• or create a bridging action that makes the missing condition true
No silent assumptions allowed.

Another underrated detail:
the model tracks uncertainty explicitly.
Every precondition is labeled:
• Sat (satisfied)
• Viol (violated)
• Unk (unknown)
“Unknown” is not tolerated.
Plans with unresolved Unk states are invalid by definition, no matter how fluent they look.
